The two of them collapsed beside one another, and Nathaniel drifted off to sleep with his head nestled against her shoulder.
Chapter 8
Nathaniel walked all thought the park, desperately searching for Lillian. He was not sure where else to look for her, but time and time again his search came up short. Tony had warned him, but he hadn’t listened. He shouldn’t have lied to her, and now she had disappeared.
The morning after his night with Lillian he had awoken to her bashing him in the head with a shoe. She had flipped on the news, and the local station was running a story about the shelter –and they were playing the interview they had done nearly two weeks before. She had been irate with him. “So you’re some fucking billionaire? And what was this –some sort of game to you?” she had asked. “You probably do this sort of shit all the time, right? Make some girl think you’re putting yourself out to help her? Or were you just trying to bang your childhood crush? What the fuck, Nate?”
She had left, and that had been two days ago. Nathaniel had been greatly neglecting his duties towards the shelter just so he could spend his days and most of his nights searching for Lillian. He was supposed to be getting on a plane that afternoon so head home to California, but now he was not so sure he could do it. He could not leave things between him and Lillian that way.
Tony shook his head as he walked alongside Nathaniel. “What do you want me to do?” Tony asked as he peered around for the mystery woman. “Our flight leaves in three hours, Nathaniel. What do you want me to do?”
“I need you to make an excuse for me to stay here in Troy,” Nathaniel responded. “I have to find her. She needs me. She’s just going to wind up on the streets again, and I was going to help her. This is my fault. I should have listened to you. I was playing games, and she got pissed when she found out.”
“Fine. Look, I know you’re my boss and everything, but I’m not walking through the park anymore. One of us has got to be working. I’ll cancel the flight, and I’ll tell Adam something came up and we have to stay in Troy for another week, all right?”
“Thanks, Tony,” Nathaniel said.
“And I’ll let your mother know too. She’s been calling me all day about when she can expect you home. Apparently you have some date when you get back?”
Nathaniel shook his head. “I don’t have time to think about that right now, Tony.”
“All right, all right. Relax,” Tony checked his watch. “I’ll take a cab back to the shelter. Here are the keys to the rental. I’ll ask around while I’m there to see if anyone has seen your girlfriend too.”
“Just go, asshole,” Nathaniel said as he trudged off in the opposite direction that Tony was headed. He couldn’t believe how bad he had messed up. He couldn’t believe how angry Lillian had been over the game of charades. He couldn’t believe he was staying in Troy for another week!
None of that mattered at the moment, though. He just needed to find Lillian.
